We identified PRP4 kinase-A (PRP4ka) in a forward genetic screen based on an alternatively-spliced GFP reporter gene in Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis). Prp4 kinase, which was the first spliceosome-associated kinase shown to regulate splicing in fungi and mammals, has not yet been studied in plan...
We examined global expression profiles of 3-week-old prp4k3(amiR-PRP4K3) leaves compared to Col-0 using illumina sequencing. PRP4KA and its paralogs interact with Serrate (SE), a key factor in miRNA metabolism.phosphorylation of SE via PRP4KA can quickly clear accumulated SE to secure its proper amo...
